Download or read book Getting it Wrong in Spain written by Susana Belenguer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together different and interdisciplinary perspectives on the Spanish Civil War, its victims, its contentious ending, and its aftermath. In exploring the slow demise of republican ideals, contributors range over many diverse historical and cultural topics — discussing, for instance, the attitudes of both Left and Right to the poet Federico García Lorca and to his assassination, examining the documentary evidence offered in surviving memoirs of the Civil War, and assessing the major characteristics of the new order in Spain under Franco. Cinematic and literary depictions of the Civil War and its consequences are also studied. Other topics investigated include: contemporary French reactions to the Spanish conflict, Stalinist policies towards Spain, the activities and motives of the anarcho-syndicalists and the role of the International Brigades. This collection of essays published on the 75th anniversary of the end of the Civil War, not only places the events and experiences studied within the context of the ‘new state’ of Franco’s Spain, but also offers timely fresh insights into wider European and international issues during what was a period of seismic change in world history. This book was originally published as a special issue of Bulletin of Spanish Studies.
Download or read book La prisi n y las instituciones punitivas en la investigaci n hist rica written by Pedro Oliver Olmo and published by Universidad de Castilla La Mancha. This book was released on 2014-09-23 with total page 922 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Historia Social de las Instituciones Punitivas está necesitada en España de encuentro y debate, de confrontación y colaboración entre investigadores e investigadoras. Solo así logrará hacerse visible e inteligible como tendencia historiográfica y sobre todo como apuesta teórico-metodológica, porque de hecho ya es más que creíble como práctica historiográfica. Aquí, en este libro, junto a los logros también se perfilan las carencias y los retos más acuciantes. Lejos de buscar una autonomía extemporánea, la Historia Social de las Instituciones Punitivas quiere buscar su propia viabilidad a base de intersecciones y buenas mezclas. Esos objetivos se planteaba el Grupo de Estudio sobre la Historia de la Prisión y las Instituciones Punitivas (GEHPIP) ―un equipo interuniversitario y con sede en la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM)― al organizar lo que de forma homónima decidió titular I Congreso Internacional sobre Historia de la Prisión y las Instituciones Punitivas, celebrado en Ciudad Real entre el 10 y el 12 de abril de 2013. El libro electrónico que aquí se presenta es una buena muestra de lo que allí se comunicó y discutió. Social History of Punitive Institutions in Spain needs meetings and discussions, comparison and collaboration between researchers. Only then it will become visible and intelligible as a historiographical trend and, above all, as a theoretical-methodological hope, because in fact, now it is more than conceivable as a historiographical practice. Here in this book are outlined, along with the achievements, the shortcomings and the most pressing challenges. Far from seeking an extemporaneous autonomy, Social History of Punitive Institutions wants to try to find its own feasibility based on intersections and good mixings. Those objectives were considered by the Study Group about History of Prison and Punitive Institutions (Grupo de Estudio sobre la Historia de la Prisión y las Instituciones Punitivas, GEHPIP) –an interuniversity team and with central office at Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM)– when organising what it decided to name in an homonymous way 1st International Congress on History of Prison and Punitive Institutions (I Congreso Internacional sobre Historia de la Prisión y las Instituciones Punitivas), held in Ciudad Real (Spain) from 10 to 12 April 2013. The electronic book here presented is a good example of what it was told and discussed there.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De la Fundadora de EWTN, la Red Global Católica, nos llegan estas respuestas — con una aproximación profundamente práctica y humorística — a las preguntas más difíciles que se nos presentan en la vida. De una manera delicada y respetuosa, la Madre Angélica nos confronta con nuestros verdaderos problemas, levantando nuestro corazón hacia Dios y dirigiendo nuestra alma hacia el Cielo. Sus respuestas provienen, no desde un mundo sumergido en el vicio, sino desde una vida dedicada a Dios. Mientras lees sus consejos y su respuesta al llamado a crecer cerca de Cristo, la Madre Angélica se convertirá en la persona en la cual depositarás tu confianza en la batalla por adquirir la virtud. Te ayudará a vencer en la lucha contra tus pecados más enraizados, así como a vencer el miedo a la muerte, el dolor de la culpa, y los — aparentemente benignos —afectos que tengas por las cosas de este mundo. También te guiará hacia un mayor entendimiento de la vida espiritual explicándote por qué es tan difícil ser bueno; por qué debemos experimentar el sufrimiento —incluso las personas más buenas —y por qué Dios no responde todas nuestras oraciones. Teniendo a la Madre Angélica como guía también aprenderás: Cómo rezar aún cuando Dios parezca estar lejano o silencioso Maneras de sobreponerte a lo complicado de creer en Dios Los cinco pasos para descubrir la voluntad de Dios para ti Ocho clases de sufrimiento y la manera en que cada uno de ellos pueden configurar y purificar tu vida Maneras de evitar los errores más comunes en nuestra oración a Dios Qué pedir y qué no pedir en nuestra oración Maneras de vencer la lujuria y descubrir lo que Dios te está tratando de decir con esta tentación Cómo arrojar tu culpa en el océano de la Misericordia de Dios Cómo perdonar aún cuando tu dolor sea justificado La diferencia entre el orgullo bueno y falso Cómo escuchar cuando tu Ángel de la Guarda te previene del mal e inspira hacia el bien Cómo tu soledad encuentra significado en Jesús Por qué existe el Cielo y qué es lo que harás ahí Publicado hace unos treinta años, este libro se mantiene tan actual y vigente como siempre.

Download or read book El Riesgo de Creer written by María Luisa Oliveres Sanvicens and published by Erasmus Ediciones. This book was released on 2012-02-23 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro constituye una solución a algo que Vaticano II denunció como el gran déficit del catolicismo actual. Ese déficit es la separación entre fe y vida. En efecto: los textos que siguen de María Luisa Oliveres, que aparecieron a lo largo de los años en uno de los diarios principales de España, no se publicaron en las páginas de opinión, sino en la página dedicada a temas religiosos. Pero en ellos se habla de la vida: de cosas como la inmigración, los palestinos, la utopía de la historia humana, el PNUD, la libertad para salir del propio cenáculo, el economista Stiglitz o los pobres, las guerras, el cuidado, el dolor del mundo o la aceptación de la diversidad... Es decir: se habla de lo que le importa a Dios, no de los que interesa a los guardianes de la institución u “oficiales” de la Iglesia, a los que parece que sólo interesa la vida intrauterina y la del más allá. Aquí la pasión creyente y el sentido de la gratuidad llevan a esta importante advertencia: no basta defender causas nobles por muy nobles que sean; además hay que defenderlas noblemente. De modo que, si la separación entre fe y vida afectaba a los creyentes, esta otra observación vale para todos, sea cual sea la cosmovisión que profesen; y ella misma ya es un acto de fe.
Download or read book Hrolf Kraki s Saga written by Poul Anderson and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2015-11-24 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the British Fantasy Award: The ancient legend of the Danish Viking king is retold in a tale of vengeance, battles, magic, and monsters. In the court of the Anglo-Saxon king, a visiting storyteller regales the assembled nobles with the enthralling tale of her faraway land’s most revered hero: the Viking Hrolf Kraki. Born of an incestuous union into a royal family with a history of violence, jealousy, usurpation, and murder, Hrolf assembled a loyal band of the mightiest champions in the realm and expanded his small kingdom through wisdom, courage, and conquest. Unbeaten on the battlefield, his great deeds and victories became legends throughout the North as he ushered in an era of peace and prosperity. But Hrolf’s desire for vengeance was ever the warrior-king’s driving force, as he sought the truth about his father’s murder. This obsession would threaten Hrolf’s life and his rule—and ultimately bring his great kingdom to ruin. Poul Anderson, one of the acknowledged giants of twentieth-century fantasy, employs his unparalleled storytelling talents to bring Denmark’s great Viking king to life. A saga that predates the stories of King Arthur and his knights and Shakespeare’s Hamlet, while echoing the Oedipus and Beowulf myths, the Norse legend of Hrolf Kraki takes on a new and breathtaking richness in this classic novel the Guardian described as “full of thrills.”
Download or read book Dwellers of Memory written by Pilar Riano-Alcala and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dwellers of Memory is an ethnographic study of how urban youth in Colombia came to be at the intersection of multiple forms of political, drug-related, and territorial violence in a country undergoing forty years of internal armed conflict. It examines the ways in which youth in the city of Medellin reconfigure their lives and, cultural worlds in the face of widespread violence. This violence has transgressed familiar boundaries and destroyed basic social supports and networks of trust. This volume attempts to map and understand its patterns and flows. The author explores how Medellin's youth locate themselves and make, sense of violence through contradictory and shifting memory practices. The violence has not completely taken over their cultural worlds or their subjectivities. Practices of remembering and forgetting are key methods by which these youth rework their identities and make sense of the impact of violence on their lives. While the experience of violence is rooted in urban space and urban youth, the memory dwellers use a sense of place, oral histories of death, and narratives of fear as survival strategies for inhabiting violent neighborhoods. The book also examines fissures in memory, the contradictory constructions of young people's subjective selves, and practices of gendered violence and terror. All have and continue to pose risks to the historical memory and cultural survival of the residents of Medellin. Dwellers of Memory offers an alternative ethnographic approach to the study of memory and violence, one that calls into question whether the, role of the ethnographer of violence is to be a mere witness of terror, or to oppose it by writing against it. It will be of interest to sociologists, anthropologists, and students of, ethnography.

Download or read book Identity in Narrative written by Anna De Fina and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2003-10-27 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents both an analysis of how identities are built, represented and negotiated in narrative, as well as a theoretical reflection on the links between narrative discourse and identity construction. The data for the book are Mexican immigrants' personal experience narratives and chronicles of their border crossings into the United States. Embracing a view of identity as a construct firmly grounded in discourse and interaction, the author examines and illustrates the multiple threads that connect the local expression and negotiation of identity to the wider social contexts that frame the experience of migration, from material conditions of life in the United States to mainstream discourses about race and color. The analysis reveals how identities emerge in discourse through the interplay of different levels of expression, from implicit adherence to narrative styles and ways of telling, to explicit negotiation of membership categories.
